Melania Trump DEFENDS Baltimore students who booed her

Melania Trump on Tuesday defended the rights of teenagers who booed her when she addressed them in Baltimore, a city her husband, President Donald Trump, has disparaged as “rat and rodent infested.”

She traveled there to urge hundreds of middle and high school students to avoid misusing drugs, saying that would make it harder for them to achieve their life’s goals. But her remarks drew a mix of boos and cheers, and the audience remained noisy throughout her five-minute address.

It is highly unusual for a first lady to be booed at a public appearance. Mrs. Trump released a statement hours after she had returned to the White House, defending the principle of freedom of expression while reaffirming her commitment to the issue that drew her to Baltimore.

“We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the fact is we have a serious crisis in our country and I remain committed to educating children on the dangers and deadly consequences of drug abuse,” Mrs. Trump said.

Of course she defends their right to boo her. After all, she is the First lady, and a class act. The ones that booed have no idea what a class act is.

What would you expect from a Baltimore ghetto crowd

Class. And coming from the part of the world where she does, I'd guess she has a greater appreciation for freedom than they do.

Where they paid to boo her - Michelle listen up - our first lady is a class act which I would like to see and hear more of - get over it - you are not. The media wrongfully put that crown on your head and it doesn't fit. These slugs from Baltimore could care less about politics unless they where paid to comment/harass. Shame on you.

Wish there was a way to let her know how we "deplorables" feel about her. Deplorables love Melania.

The current FLOTUS sure outshines and out classes that former FLOTUS (Michelle Obama) who told the country she was NEVER proud to be an American until her husband became president. The same husband that admitted he married a black woman because marrying a white woman would have hurt his political aspirations. (We all know which one he really wanted)

They booed her, and got a class act response. The students got a lesson in civility.
